Emperors

TABLE IV

A LIST OF EMPERORS AND POPES FROM 900 TO 1313

Year of Accession

1 In the list of Emperors in the West, the names in marks of parenthesis are of Kings of Germany who were never crowned emperor by the Pope. The year of accession in the case of all the German emperors is taken from the date when they began to reign, not from the date of the papal coronation, which is given in the text. The authority followed for these dates is Richter's Annalen des Deutschen Reichs.

1 The antipopes named "Victor IV" were different persons; the second, of 1159, apparently, taking his numeration directly after Victor III of 1087, without reference to the antipope of 1138.
